Warm up the credit cards - Steep and Cheap Gearstorm is a comin'
carvin29 replied to skategoat's topic in Carving Central
I had some heartbreak on this one. About 11pm last night, a $180 MSRP Oakley watch pops up for $30:eek: , I promptly log in but there is an error. For some reason Steep and Cheap doesn't work with the newest IE I have on windows vista. I have to go to an old sh*tty computer downstairs, wait 5 minuts for it to start up, then try again. I try to log in 3 times, but it keeps saying "sorry our system is bogged down right now, try again". By the time I get logged in they are all gone -
Hey Brad, hang in there man. You guys are in my prayers.
-
Thanks for the encouragement everyone : )
-
And I'm worried barely any terrain will be open. I have been checking the weather the past few weeks and it seems like there's just no luck. Can someone calm my fears or am I'm in for a few days of looking at brown grass?

Anyone else depressed by the direction K2 has taken? Late 80's/early 90's they were such a cool company, I loved all their stuff. Now they seem to be on the extreme end of ultra-corporate board companies. (I know they arre now a conglomerate of who knows how many companies)

Christmas week at Altitude - Best options?
carvin29 replied to Algunderfoot's topic in Carving Central
Diasppointing to hear. I knew it was bad but not that bad. I will be riding Breck on Dec 21-24. Just how bad is it? Lift lines unbearable? -
Those helmets look SWEET!!!
-
Powder, obviously, but if not then I like it to be nice, firm snow where I can hold a really nice edge.
-
I was at BC last Friday. It was perfect towards the end of the day- bright sun, no lines.
-
Booster, I'm sure you know your way around alot better than me and could show me some fun stuff. My day there was snowing/fog so that didn;t help. I'm glad though that some other people affirmed what I said about BC. I especially enjoyed some of the long winding cat tracks. At the end my day there I had found a run where I would hit some moderate pitches, then cruise along a cat track, then back onto the main trails, so fun.

Went to Breck, Vail and Beaver Creek. Was very surprised because I liked Beaver Creek much better than Vail. I didn't really get to explore Vail as much as I wanted to due to snow and fog, but the runs at Beav were so nice, long and wide open, cord everywhere. I had always heard that Vail was the be-all, end-all resort so I'm really surprised.

I ride PA too, but my season of riding there is most likely over. Leaving for CO for a week on Sunday and doubt I will do any PA riding after that. I have to say that I had some of the best east coast snow conditions I ever experienced one day at Whitetail. It was right after the cold weather came and the edgehold was fantastic- no granular anywhere.

Looking at the BC trail map I've been salivating over Centennial.
-
Oooohhhh this is an excellent topic. As I am leaving for Breck/Vail/Beaver Creek Sunday the 4th.

I'll be in CO in a couple weeks- I have a new pair of Goggles with HI Yellow lenses I'd like to wear but worry it might get too bright. Interested to hear opinions.
-
Sorry to hear it man. Good thing you were wearing a helmet though. I had a pretty big getoff last weekend, slammed my head bad. I've decided to always wear a helmet from now on.
-
I just picked up some Crowbars with HI Yellow lenses. They have the old school oakley logo on the band, I saw someone wearing some and HAD to get a pair.
-
Do you have to put them in a file guide or can you just do it free hand?
-
I'm not at all an expert on this, but a few weeks ago I was having some irritation in my knee and rode the exercise bike a few times that week. That seemed to help.
-
Always goggles. Especially at speed they are a necessity. I have Oakley A Frames in a cobalt blue with black iridium. They do a great job.
-
In early March. Could use some advice on the best places to hit. I prefer wide open, long runs.
-
You guys are makin me feel better. I am going to put a tune on it and work on my ice technique.
-
Phil thats what I had been hearing about it. So I dont know what the deal is. Another thing that worries me is the core is slightly angled in the nose.
-
I ride softies, Burton Drivers.

So I got a new T6 this season, 164. Its a nice board, I've had alot of fun with it, its fast and carves good. But one thing I've been disappointed with is the edgehold on ice. I had thought with the "Pressure Distribution Edges" it would cut right through ice but it doesn't. Am I expecting too much?
